 "Thankfully, the film, which skirts that rapidly deteriorating line between fantasy and reality ... takes a tongue-in-cheek attitude even as it pushes the Croc Hunter agenda."
-- Gendy Alimurung, L.A. WEEKLY
 "This is a truly, truly bad movie."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"... (like)channel surfing between the Discovery Channel and a late-night made-for-cable action movie."
-- Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"No matter how firmly director John Stainton has his tongue in his cheek, the fact remains that a wacky concept does not a movie make."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"The filmmakers wisely decided to let Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin do what he does best, and fashion a story around him."
-- Catherine Cantieri, HOLECITY.COM
"Crikey indeed."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"Dull, lifeless, and amateurishly assembled."
-- Mark Dujsik, MARK REVIEWS MOVIES
"Irwin is so earnest that it's hard to resist his pleas to spare wildlife and respect their environs. There are far worse messages to teach a young audience, which will probably be perfectly happy with the sloppy slapstick comedy."
-- Marshall Fine, JOURNAL NEWS
"Steve Irwin's method is Ernest Hemmingway at accelerated speed and volume."
-- Stephen Himes, FILM SNOBS
"Whether seen on a 10-inch television screen or at your local multiplex, the edge-of-your-seat, educational antics of Steve Irwin are priceless entertainment."
-- Tom Keogh, SEATTLE TIMES
"The Irwins' scenes are fascinating; the movie as a whole is cheap junk and an insult to their death-defying efforts."
-- Jim Lane, SACRAMENTO NEWS & REVIEW
"I highly recommend Irwin, but not in the way this film showcases him."
-- David Levine, FILMCRITIC.COM
"If you're a Crocodile Hunter fan, you'll enjoy at least the "real" portions of the film. If you're looking for a story, don't bother."
-- John R. McEwen, FILM QUIPS ONLINE

"Hey, at least the title of this film lets you know exactly where it's heading."
-- Eric Campos, FILM THREAT
"I just saw this movie... well, it’s probably not accurate to call it a movie."
-- Shay Casey, DAILY-REVIEWS
"If you're not fans of the adventues of Steve and Terri, you should avoid this like the dreaded King Brown snake. Personally, I'd rather watch them on the Animal Planet."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"Irwin, due to his goofy but engaging and personable manner... makes the film far more enjoyable than it otherwise might have been.
"
-- Michael Elliott, MOVIE PARABLES
"Most of Collision Course is exactly like Irwin's TV work."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"This isn’t a good movie; this isn’t a bad movie. This is a movie that dispenses with the whole good/bad paradigm and exists on its own plane of reality."
-- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER
"Irwin is a man with enough charisma and audacity to carry a dozen films, but this particular result is ultimately held back from being something greater."
-- David Keyes, DAVID KEYES' CINEMA 2000
"A dim-witted and lazy spin-off of the Animal Planet documentary series, Crocodile Hunter is entertainment opportunism at its most glaring."
-- Josh Larsen, SUN PUBLICATIONS (CHICAGO, IL)
"The Irwins emerge unscathed, but the fictional footage is unconvincing and criminally badly acted."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course is one of the most unusual movies I've ever seen, but it remains faithful to Irwin's appeal, and therefore it works."
-- Mike McGranaghan, AISLE SEAT

Avg. Rating: 5.6/10 |
"Goofy, nutty, consistently funny. And educational!"
-- John Anderson, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Whenever its story isn't bogged down by idiocy involving the CIA and a lost U.S. satellite, Hunter -- starring Irwin and his American wife/colleague, Terri -- is a movie children should enjoy."
-- Mike Clark, USA TODAY
"You see a couple of likable people journeying though the outback, encountering dangerous critters and getting too close for comfort, while lecturing us on their habits and dangers and almost being killed by them."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Irwin and his director never come up with an adequate reason why we should pay money for what we can get on television for free."
-- Robert K. Elder, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"Irwin's zeal for for the beauties and oddities of his homeland is infectious. By the end of the movie, you'll probably think Irwin something of a beauty and oddity, too."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
"A laughable -- or rather, unlaughable -- excuse for a film."
-- Adam Graham, DETROIT NEWS
"As it stands, Crocodile Hunter has the hurried, badly cobbled look of the 1959 Godzilla, which combined scenes of a Japanese monster flick with canned shots of Raymond Burr commenting on the monster's path of destruction."
-- Edward Guthmann, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"When I say this movie's a charm, I'm really talking about [Steve] Irwin."
-- Desson Howe, WASHINGTON POST
"Why, you may ask, why should you buy the movie milk when the TV cow is free? There's no good answer to that one."
-- Liam Lacey, GLOBE AND MAIL
"A lightweight confection that delivers exactly what it promises."
-- Todd McCarthy, VARIETY

"Watching Steve come close to death has never been more fun."
-- Danny Minton, KBTV-NBC (BEAUMONT, TX)
